Tournament Calendar & Info
Please scroll down to see all Calendars
Please remember that players are expected to attend all games and fulfill their commitment to their team. Tournaments are taxing on players with the number of games and energy used to compete— therefore, the whole team is needed there all weekend! Keep in mind tournaments are a great opportunity to get lots of game time.
A word on player and team preparation:
- Team Coaches and the HPSA Leadership Team (Director, Director of Coaching, and Admin) MUST receive a headcount 1 week before the team registration deadline, normally 3 weeks prior to the first day of the tournament.
- Proper hydration is crucial for all players to be be ready for all games. Please avoid sodas during competition.
- Proper nutrition is also a factor, avoid big meals before games, stay away from junk food, please make sure that you do have breakfast even if your game is scheduled to play at 8am.
- Bring both colors in case we have a uniform conflict.
- Sideline behavior must be at an all-time optimum, please refrain from addressing referees, teammates, other parents and opponents in a negative manner. Please support your team regardless of the outcome of the game!
Game schedules will not come out until the week of the event and could be as late as Thursday before they are official. While some tournaments turn the links on early to give coaches and administrators a change to review them, please do not alert other players during the review process. We will alert everyone when they are official. ALWAYS CHECK YOUR SCHEDULE prior to game day as they could have been modified. They are synced in the app with directions and field maps.
Tournaments can be dicey, especially in winter, as they cannot be rescheduled or fees refunded due to weather. They are a three day snap shot and they depend on the skill level and number of teams that apply. Please keep tournament weekends completely open and reserved for soccer only. Game day procedures are sent to team managers once confirmed by tournaments, typically within the week of the event. The leagues require that no teams schedule tournaments until the season is officially over including any rescheduled games for weather. They will not work around tournaments and regard them as unexcused forfeits. 2 unexcused forfeits and you can be thrown out of the league.
From the leagues: (Please do not schedule any tournament during league play)
- Showcase, out of town or travel tournaments are ala carte on a per team basis. There will be an additional charge for the tournament dues and coaches travel expenses-transportation, hotel, food etc. collected by HPSA. Parents pay their own travel expenses directly to the vendors. Travel expenses can vary from drive to tournaments, to fly to domestic and international tournaments. We have taken teams to Europe and South America. Your coach and team manager will discuss these with you and alert you well in advance. Some teams have a fund-raiser or get sponsors for these tournaments.
Most venues are in the DFW Area – After evaluating the team’s skill level, you coach will determine which league and tournaments the team will play in.
